Operator Environment
Operators have an efficient and safe place to work from in the Spirit Delta cab. The specific design of the cab comes as a result of extensive research into the operators working conditions. The most important objective is to be able to offer optimum visibility with no forward corner posts and large glass areas unobstructed to keep the field of vision clear. The ergonomically designed instrument panel is gently rounded and really comfortable. This area has also been designed with an unobstructed clear view of all important information, so as to keep the operator working as efficiently as he or she could.
Noise levels and vibration controls are kept low thanks to the insulated mounting on the chassis. To be able to maintain an optimal working position, the hydraulic controls and operator seat are all individually adjustable. In addition, the steering wheel and related panel is adjustable for utmost comfort. There are 2 ergonomically positioned multi-functioned and easy to operate levers which are offered for windscreen wipers, gear changing, the horn and window washers.
A ventilation/heating unit ensure a comfy cab temperature for the operator. The incoming air is replaced by an air filter. This is easily replaceable and the unit slides out afterwards to make serviceability an easy option. The machine has a robust 3-speed fan for cooling, heating, defrosting and recirculation. As an additional option, air conditioning can be fitted.
Instrumentation
The instrument panel in the spirit delta cab has been logically grouped and are all within easy reach. The basic instruments which include: low engine and gearbox lubrication oil pressure, warning lamps, low brake pressure, high coolant temperature, high gearbox oil temperature and applied parking brake. In addition, gauges display values for operating time, fuel quantity, gearbox oil pressure and engine coolant.
Among the key options the 8 to 10 tonne trucks could be equipped with is the ECS or Electronic Control System monitoring. This allows for easy supervision of the unit. All of the monitoring functions are handled by the ECS and incorporated by this system. The single warning lamp and the full text display show any faults which happen and their current values.
